Qing Dynasty: After Kangxi Kowloon heard my voice

Chapter 217 Listening to Wen Yao's Rumors

"How could the Empress Dowager marry down? She was fighting for power with Dorgon at the time. Even if she could marry down, Dorgon would not marry her because he also wanted power," Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao. "Dorgon never refused any beauties. Prince Suwu was murdered by Dorgon, and Dorgon took Prince Suwu's wife as his wife."

"It is said that the Empress Dowager was very beautiful when she was young, and Dorgon would like her. But don't forget that Dorgon loves power. Before Huang Mafa took the throne, the Empress Dowager spread the rumor that Huang Mafa was born blessed, and Dorgon pushed Huang Mafa to the throne." Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao, "Don't think this is simple. Sometimes a decision is made after thinking day and night. After Huang Mafa succeeded to the throne, Dorgon was in power."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "It's no big deal to call Dorgon the emperor's father. It's normal. As for the Empress Dowager marrying Dorgon? How can two power-hungry people be together? It's a fuss!"

"So the bad relationship between the Grand Empress Dowager and Shun... the Emperor Mafa, isn't it because of Consort Dong E?" Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen, "Is it purely because of power?"

"..." Yinzhen looked at his wife's inquiring eyes, "How can the emperor quarrel with the Grand Empress Dowager just for a concubine Dong E?"

Yinzhen thought he had heard something strange, "What else did you hear? Come on, let me hear it."

He thought that he could use this to "repay" his royal father for the slap!

Wen Yao was very excited when talking about this. "Speaking of this, I have something to say. There was a rumor on the grassland at that time that whoever married Dayuer, that is, Bumbutai, would be the next emperor. At that time, there was a chance that Dayuer and a prince wearing a mask... Dayuer always thought that she loved Huang Taiji..."

Wen Yao began to narrate the entire roaring version of the secret history of Empress Xiaozhuang, and she was so excited when she spoke, "Later, Dorgon died in Empress Xiaozhuang's arms wearing a mask. Empress Xiaozhuang actually regretted it, but it seems that she didn't regret it. She just felt that she had made a mistake. That's probably what happened. Later..."

Including the love-hate relationship between Shunzhi, Dong Efei and Boguer, and the explosive love triangle. At that time, she was very supportive of Shunzhi and Dong Efei. The two handsome men and beautiful women were so well matched, although their values were a little distorted!

Yinzhen was completely confused after hearing this. What the hell? Dorgon was still so infatuated? Then where did those dozen beautiful concubines in his backyard come from?

How did the emperor rob Prince Xiang of his wife? When did Concubine Dong E become Prince Xiang's wife?

Did the Emperor disregard the government for the sake of Concubine Dong E? And even commit suicide for love?

In the Ming Dynasty, concubines were buried alive with the emperor. Why was it the other way around in the Qing Dynasty? Aren’t you later generations too bullying?

Yinzhen felt like he wanted to roar out loud, but looking at his wife's smug look, he couldn't understand what there was to be smug about.

Yinzhen pinched Wen Yao's nose, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "You know all this from the storybook? I think no one who appears in the storybook is happy. Even if the Empress Dowager is the final winner, she should not be very happy."

Wen Yao looked at the smile on Yinzhen's face and leaned into his arms, "Hehe... But we were so happy when we watched it, especially the part where the Emperor snatched Concubine Dong E. I thought it was so cool at the time. You know what cool means, right? It means it's very handsome. And when the Emperor said that Concubine Dong E's son was his first son, I felt unhappy at the time. I was unhappy for the young Emperor Father."

Wen Yao thought of something, glanced outside, and then whispered, "In later generations, the Emperor called his father Kang Mazi, because of the pockmarks on his face left by smallpox, hahahahahaha… After I arrived, I looked carefully at the Emperor's face, and there were indeed pockmarks, but not that many, hahahahaha…"

"Ahem..." Yinzhen couldn't help laughing. Kang Mazi? He didn't know what the emperor would think after he knew about it. "The struggle for power was so fierce at that time, but you made it into a love story between a man and a woman. What's so irreplaceable about that thing between a man and a woman?"

Yinzhen couldn't imagine an emperor giving up everything for a woman. "Even ordinary men don't do that. Nalan Rongruo married one woman after another."

He really couldn't understand what happened to the later storybooks?

"Of course we know that, but what does it matter? If you don't write it that way, no one will read it. It's not that no one will read it, but there will be a few people who like it. But people still want to see the emotional tug-of-war between men and women. In the future, it will really be a couple who stay together for life," Wen Yao explained.

"Maybe they keep her outside, or... you see, no ordinary people take concubines nowadays, they have no money," Yinzhen didn't believe it. He thought that times had changed in later generations, not men, and he didn't believe it.

"..." Wen Yao felt that Yinzhen had hit the nail on the head, "We call women other than our wives mistresses and they will be hated by others."

"What about the child? Does he have the right of inheritance?" Yinzhen didn't care about mistresses, fourth mistress, fifth mistress, or sixth mistress. It was just a change of name.

"He has the right of inheritance," Wen Yao thought about it and realized that illegitimate children have the right of inheritance.

"Haha, that's it, it's the same," Yinzhen hugged Wen Yao, and they talked about Shunzhi's "love, hate and vengeance" again, and Yinzhen laughed from time to time.

The two were very happy in the Qianqing Palace, and the prince and his men were very busy, collecting all kinds of witnesses and evidence, dealing with some people, and controlling the speech in the capital to prevent it from spreading.

In the Cining Palace, Kangxi looked at the somewhat flustered Empress Dowager and asked, "Madam, do you know what Ukuma Mama did?"

"Did the emperor really believe what the ninth prince said? He was slandering me just because I said a few words for Hexik," the empress dowager regretted it in her heart. She had never been in power, so she let the younger generations to deal with it themselves. What's more, Hexik was not from Khorchin, so why did she say that!

Wen Yao was the child she liked, so why did she say those words at that time!

But now is not the time to regret. She didn't expect that Yinzhen would become even more crazy after knowing what the Empress Dowager had done!

"Xiao Jiu has all the evidence, including witnesses and evidence. She even knows everything the Queen Mother did," Kangxi looked at the Queen Mother. "The Queen Mother never interfered, but you know about it?"

The Empress Dowager knew that she could not struggle any longer. She had not expected that a few words would directly anger Yinzhen and cause things to this point. If she had known this would happen, she would never have spoken a word!

"I only found out after your mother died that Sister Tong looked frail, but in fact she was in good health. She looked weak but was strong at heart," the Empress Dowager said helplessly, and simply stopped struggling. "What the Empress Dowager did was for Khorchin, and I can't fall behind. If I can't meet the Empress Dowager's requirements, I will end up like Concubine Jing."

Do you really think that the Empress Dowager treats the women from Khorchin like her own children? No, if they fail to meet her requirements, they will be abandoned!
